Considered among leading filmmakers in Pakistan, Nabeel Qureshi and Fizza Ali Meerza have given some great films to local cinema and have won many hearts with their work. The duo is known for making commercially and critically successful films such as Na Maloom Afraad, Actor In Law and most recently Load Wedding. As per recent reports, the two are all set to showcase three of their films across the border.
Na Maloom Afraad 1 & 2, and Actor in Law will take centre stage in January 2019 at the South Asia Forum for Art & Creative Heritage (SAFACH) in New Delhi.
“Mr. Harsh Narayan contacted us and we shared three of our films with him, and they decided to screen them,” director Nabeel Qureshi shared in a recent interview.
When asked about Load Wedding, which released on Eid ul Azha this year, he informed that Load Wedding is not part of this festival but it will be screened in some other festivals worldwide and he will share details in some time.
“People in India and Pakistan speak the same language and there are a lot of other similarities in terms of socio-political situations; we try to depict that in our films, so it’s going to be a good experience to explore Indian audience as well. Also, they will get a chance to see Pakistani films, which unfortunately do not release in India,” he added, admitting that he expects the festival to expand his reach, especially in the sub-continent.
Qureshi and Meerza will be attending the SAFACH event next year that will feature the best films from Asia.
